Julia Lynn

We’re giving a special shoutout today to our girl Julia Lynn of Julia Lynn Photography, based right here in Charleston! You may remember our office and my home featured in Lonny last summer, photographed by this lovely lady, and we thought we’d share a few outtakes that weren’t included in the story. She’s a genius at lifestyle and interior shots – such a fun photo shoot!

Standing in front of the iron gate at my house that inspired these cocktail napkins from the Lettered Olive. How sweet is my pup Georgia?

A lovely shot of the entrance to our Soirée office in Charleston. I think it’s pretty appropriate that the office of a wedding planner is located on Chapel Street!

An antique wedding kimono hangs behind the seating area in our offices. The minute I saw it, I knew I had to frame it.

We love having brides come by to brainstorm and plan their weddings around our table. The antlers on the cabinet behind it were once used for a wedding centerpiece!

And here is the place where I spend most of my day. I’m such a visual person, so I love the mood board behind my computer that serves as constant inspiration.

With so many details to keep track of, it’s important that we stay super organized. Floor to ceiling files are the only way to do it!

And finally, a favorite photo of me and my sweet babies! Thank you Julia for capturing such a special moment. Happy weekend y’all!

You can’t go wrong with blue accents at your wedding, and not surprisingly it’s one of our most requested colors here at Soirée. Actually, we love mixing all of our favorite shades of blue together for one fab look! Check out this inspiration from some of our previous Soirée weddings… we’re still loving that peacock feather place card!

Billowing blue bridesmaid dresses are always a classic, but we also love these favor boxes in a darker hue. The range of palette keeps a wedding from feeling monotone – super important!
